This single-story plan measures 42'-8" × 24'-7" and has 1,050 square feet of living space. There is no garage. The footprint is a plain rectangle under one roof, which keeps the framing and the roof geometry simple. The kitchen and living room share a single 14'-3" × 22'-8" room, so the main living area is open and not split into smaller spaces.
A 16'-4" × 5'-2" hall serves the three bedrooms, the bathroom, the half bath and the laundry closet. The primary bedroom is 13'-11" × 10'-0", Bedroom 3 is 11'-9" × 10'-0", and Bedroom 2 is 9'-4" × 12'-3". The full bathroom is 6'-6" × 6'-8", the half bath is 3'-10" × 6'-8", and the laundry closet is 5'-2" × 6'-8". Every room is sized for its use, with no extra circulation space.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits buyers who want three bedrooms and 1.5 baths in 1,050 square feet of living space on one level. It needs a lot wider than the 42'-8" × 24'-7" footprint once local setbacks are added, and the lot should be reasonably level for a single-story house.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Low-cost single-story house: plain rectangular footprint, one roof, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, kitchen and living in one room, laundry closet, no garage, about 1,050 sq ft.” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.
Frequently asked questions
What are cheap house plans to build?
They are plans that keep the building simple: a rectangular footprint, one roof, one level and a modest number of rooms. This plan follows that approach at 1,050 square feet with a 42'-8" × 24'-7" footprint and no garage.
What affects the cost of building this plan?
The main drivers are your local labor and material markets, the foundation type your soil requires, and the site work on your lot. The simple rectangle and single roof reduce the number of corners and roof intersections, but you should get local bids for actual figures.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can ask for changes such as different room sizes, a garage on a chosen side, or a layout adjusted to a narrower or wider lot. The plan is updated to match, and you can review the new room sizes before you download it.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing and printing the plan, including for discussions with a builder or permit office. The DXF opens in CAD software for drafting work, and the IFC imports into BIM tools. Have a local engineer or architect check the plan against your local code before construction.
